How Martello Helps Managed Service Providers

It’s no secret that the modern era in which we live and work must fulfill an ever-increasing demand for digital transformation, especially when it comes to business. Microsoft Teams’ growth over the past year has been exponential, and while many companies rely on Microsoft 365 for their business continuity, very few of them have the tools to manage and support these services internally.

Instrumenting Microservices with Istio for Distributed Tracing

Previously, I wrote a Beginner’s Guide to Jaeger + OpenTracing Instrumentation for Go providing guidance on manually instrumenting Go services. This is useful for cases where we want fine-grained tracing of specific functions. However, what if all we want is to trace a service’s inbound and outbound calls with little to no additional code?

Using the Redis Command-Line Correctly

Redis is an open-source in-memory data store. You can use Redis as a database, message broker, or cache. It also supports Lua script evaluation so you can build automation scripts or custom operations on top of your key-value Redis store. Typically, developers use language-specific client libraries when building apps with Redis. These clients abstract Redis’ command-line interface (CLI), making it easier to work with but more work to set up.

Building and Monitoring Robust Automatic Deployments

Have you ever heard the mantra “Don’t deploy on Fridays?” There are blog posts, tweets, and t-shirts shouting this slogan to anyone who will listen. Maybe your organization follows this policy. The purpose of not deploying on Fridays is to give the team better work/life balance by preventing them from having to work on the weekends if something goes wrong during or after the deployment.

Are You in It to Win It? Optimize Your Warehouse Operations with Future-Proof Technology

Take a moment if you will. Imagine your typical day at the warehouse. Warehouse workers are buzzing about. Forklifts are driving back and forth down the aisles. Your workers are staying productive, scanning and picking boxes, one after the other. They’ve got their rugged devices and scanners, helping them buzz away, busy as can be.

Introducing dark and light theme modes

We are constantly working to make Icinga even better by adding new useful features. We will be releasing Icinga Web 2 version 2.9.0 very soon. This version will have many new interesting features. One of these functions gives you the option to change the theme mode to Dark, Light or Auto. The default Icinga theme will come with all three modes and will use Dark as the default theme mode. You can change it at any time in the account preferences.

New Research by IDC, Sponsored by PagerDuty, Explores How Organizations Can Reach CloudOps Maturity

Many organizations have made the shift to the cloud in recent years, and many more are planning to or are just starting their cloud migration journeys now. However, some organizations struggle to realize value from this move. The benefits of cloud are clear: it’s flexible, scalable, and has a low cost of entry. But cloud can also bring complexity—creating new interdependencies, more services to manage, and more data and signals to monitor.

Pandora FMS and Nagios back in the ring. The final comparison

NagiosXI is the proprietary heir of one of the best-known tools in IT to monitor systems without a license, that is, as a free product. As a free product, Nagios (without XI) is a product that is almost 20 years old and suffers from many shortcomings, but for many years it has been the standard among “free” products and it fulfilled its role in those cases where the budget was quite short or the features needed were just a few.
